gumballz Posted June 18, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Is iced tea one of the 'included' drinks on cruises (RCCL) and if so......what kind of sweeteners do they have? Do I need to bring my own? Do they offer caffeine free iced tea? :D Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumD Posted June 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2005 The iced tea comes out of a machine and is free. They have sugar, blue, pink and yellow sweetners. If they do have caffeine free it would not be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted June 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2005 The mix they use has sugar in it. Here is what I do. I ask for an herbel tea (caffin free), Get a glass and fill it with Ice. I make the tea and add the sweetener of my choice (sugar twin, yellow). Pour the hot tea over the ice and stir like crazy, voila, ice tea for me.

gumballz Posted June 18, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted June 18, 2005 CaptData....thanks! That's a good idea! Can I get the herbal tea anywhere on the ship or only somewhere specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted June 19, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I think all Dining Rooms will have it. I get mine at the Buffet and Main Dining Room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijoge Posted June 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2005 The mix they use has sugar in it. I drank iced tea by the gallon on both the Majesty and the Enchantment. It was unsweetened on both ships at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb04 Posted June 19, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Navigator last month had all sweeteners EXCEPT Splenda (but I brought my own, so worked out alright). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomotion Posted June 21, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Iced tea is my beverage of choice. We've been on RCCL's Radiance twice Both times it was served unsweetened. They had the pink & blue packets which was really funny when I considered the desserts that were served in the main dining room. The iced tea was also available in the Windjammer (buffet). Also, I ordered iced tea at the first night's dinner. The waiter brought it and kept my glass full through dinner. Each night after that he just brought it without my asking. a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumballz Posted June 21, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thank you for all the responses. I was hoping the tea would be readily available. I think I'd get tired of lemonaid. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY D Posted June 24, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2005 So is the iced tea served unsweetened on all the ships then? We are sailing Carnival. DH is an avid tea drinker but it has to be sweet tea. I know he can add sweetner but when we dine out at home and the tea isn't sweet already he doesn't bother ordering it. Also, any idea what brand of tea they use? DH is also a picky tea drinker. Fun for me huh? lol I personally can't stand the stuff. I make it for dh but don't drink it myself. :) I plan on drinking the lemonade. Is it any good??

Tracey and Bryan Posted June 24, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hey GUMBALLZ, I always fill my glass with 3/4 Iced Tea and 1/4 Lemonade. It's excellent that way since the Tea is unsweetened to begin with and the Lemonade is usually too sweet. I love the combination of the 2. By the way, we talked on another thread regarding airfare. You asked if we get to Prescott often. We don't go there as often as we'd like. Is there a Bed-in-Breakfast that you would recommend? Do you know anything about those "pink jeep" tours. We have seen them and have always wondered about doing it sometime. Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dawn The iced tea on the Carnival Legend is unsweetened in the machines and they had sugar, sweet-n-low, Equal, and Splenda packets. They also had lemonade and several juices in the machines.. the 'tropical' flavor (forgot- guavamango ?) was especially good. At one station there was a box with all different flavors for making hot tea... The iced tea, lemonade, juices, were all very good .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Posted July 10, 2005 #13 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Does anyone know if the tea is presweetened on the Princess cruiseline? We are on the Diamond to Alaska and I thought I would drink ice tea rather than buying the soda card, but I can't have sugar. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
